Elvis Zhang
Elvis is building a disputes practice which ranges from the pursuit of aggressive injunctive relief at all stages of fraud litigation, to international arbitrations involving financial institutions, commodities and infrastructure. Across this breadth of matters, Elvis’s key focus is to deliver bespoke advice and top-notch written and oral advocacy.
